Is it possible to create an Azure account using a company email without providing a credit/debit card? If yes, what is the process?

Question

Dear Azure Support Team,

I would like to inquire whether it is possible to create an Azure account using a company email without providing a credit or debit card. If this is possible, could you please share the process for creating the account?

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Dhruv Patel

Answer 1

Creating an Azure account usually requires a credit or debit card for verification. However, you can avoid this if:

1. Azure for Students: No card needed if you’re a student.
2. Azure Sponsorship: Check with your organization’s Azure admin.
3. Microsoft Learn Sandbox: For training purposes, no paid subscription required.

For most other cases, a card is necessary.

Hi Dhruv N Patel

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

If you're a student, you can sign up for Azure without requiring a credit card. You'll need to use your university email address to verify your student status.

Register with your university email address.

Go to Azure portal and log in with your Microsoft account.

After logging in, go to the "Azure Entra ID" section to add users, set roles, and manage other settings.
